Best time to take rhodiola rosea? What if I take it with my bulletproof coffee, theanine and aniracetam stack in the morning?

    David Tomen
    December 31, 2020

    Luo, best to take Rhodiola Rosea earlier in the day. Because this adaptogen should provide a boost in energy.

    But sometimes it can take up to 3 weeks to work with used twice daily use. It depends on the person.

how long does it last the anti anxiety effects of one dose of aniracetam of 500/750 mg ?

    David Tomen
    December 31, 2020

    Mel, around 4 hrs. has been my experience. I use 750 mg twice per day with 300 mg Alpha GPC each time and a healthy fat. Because it is fat-soluble.

I recently started taking aniracetam and the inflammation in my body increased, coincidence?

    David Tomen
    December 30, 2020

    Jeii, what do you mean by saying “inflammation in my body increased”? What exactly were the symptoms? Did you take is with a choline supplement and a healthy fat?

Can I take mucuna every day?

    David Tomen
    December 30, 2020

    Haly, you can use Mucuna Pruriens everyday. But that’s assuming you need to raise your dopamine levels significantly.

    The key to making nootropics work for you is a willingness to experiment.

Best natural anti inflammatory?

    David Tomen
    December 30, 2020

    Juu, that’s a loaded question and the answer I give you will likely be disputed by someone else in our community. But here goes …

    The best natural anti-inflammatory is Pine Bark Extract or Turmeric (standardized to 95% curcuminoids).

    But if you search this site for the keyword “anti-inflammatory, you’ll get 5 pages of results for you to wade through one by one.

Most potent nootropic to boost serotonin and that you can take it every day?

    David Tomen
    December 28, 2020

    Mark, the only nootropic that you can use to directly increase serotonin and use long-term is L-Tryptophan. Avoid 5-HTP because while you may get the benefit short-term, most people find it stops working after 4 – 6 weeks.
